HOJARASCAS COOKIE RECIPE

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
• 1 can sweet condensed milk
• 1/3 cup sugar you can add more sugar if you need to
• 1 tbsp cinnamon or more if you need to

Instructions

1. in a bowl add your flour and the shortening and try to brake it in tiny pieces, like sand.

   you can use a pastry blender, 2 knifes or your hands, just be gently if you use your hands not to mix it up like a bread you just want to brake the shortening and mix it with the flour.

   once my flour shortening mix texture is like sand this is ready to add sweet condensed milk,add it half of the can and mix it up, add more sweet condensed milk for a moist dough.

   NOTE:

   it will depends on the weather from where you live how much condensed milk you will need.

   I use most of the time a 2/3 of the can.

   you are looking for a soft come together dough like sugar cookies dough.

   the dough it may be a little breakable its ok just get it together with your fingers and keep rolling the dough to 1/4 thickness  and use cookie cutters to cut out the cookies. Transfer the cookies to lined baking sheets.

   and bake them on a preheat it oven 350F for 9-10 minutes or until the bottom part of the cookie is golden brown,

   after 9-10 minutes, get them out of the oven let it sit in the cookie sheet for 2 minutes then Coat the baked cookies with the sugar mixture and enjoy!

yes, you can add some texture chopping some walnuts or pecans very finely. once you make the dough you can add the walnuts/pecans to the dough and mix it up very well.
